He signed late term abortion bill and he stop the killing of many innocent unborn. Now how do you want him to stop all types of abortion?

He signed late term abortion bill and he stop the killing of many innocent unborn.

The actual legislation only proscribed one particular type of late-term abortion. It can be easily argued that the other remaining legal methods of late-term abortion are actually far more cruel, though less graphic, than partial-birth abortion. Those types of abortiosn are still completely legal and are regularly practiced.

It really didn't stop any abortions at all, contrary to what many people would like to believe because they are personally fond of Bush and grateful that he was willing to push for any restriction at all. And he did at least venture into the sacred waters of abortion rights, to an extent that previous Republican presidents of the Roe era did not do. So he does get some credit for that. He helped to make it thinkable that abortion could be restricted.

The real action we need to see is if Roberts and other GOP appointees will strike down Roe or allow significant restrictions on abortion by the states. Personally, I'm still hopeful that this will be the case.
